Hello, iShift was accidentally founded by a group of professionals. One of them is me, DKumar M. , an Asian freelancer who is still single. My work covers advertising, consultation, programming and web design areas.

Some of those are unbelievable that they’re actually computer-generated. My hats off to the guys and girls who can design this type of stuff. From what I’ve read, some of these graphics take weeks or even months to finish. Good job to all of the designers.

Regarding the pic No.1 entitled ‘Frankenstein’. How is this Frankenstein ? This is the creation, the monster, if you prefer, which DR FRANKENSTEIN put together from various body parts. Whoever titled this pic is a fucking ignorant idiot.
